I actually went like this:

 

Got out of the box. Saw no 3.55 adapter Mother$#&%#$!!!

Plugged them in.

Meh

But I heard something.

 

Like a Glimmer of Hope

 

Gave them 50 hours burn. Liked the sound.

Thought of modding.

Added foam to the pads.

Enjoyed the comfort

Added dampening

Enjoyed the sound

Made quick pads for them

 

MY GOD

 

Enjoyed them some more

Made pads (tutorial pads) and put them on

 

Runnin' Down a Dream

 

Let them rest.

Got HD598, tested several dozen cans.

Came back

Blew dust off

Thought of current mods

 

Hallelujah!!!

I think there is something hypnotic about these phones.

I definitely agree, even stock there's something about them that have me reaching for them.

I dumped venting the Fostex. I'd like to keep it closed.

 

Okay, here's my current setup: My yummy sandwich pads

I still can hear the ugly bass with the synthetic leather and prefer the bass with the stock pads on top. I also like the sound|feel|look of the 'inverted stock pads'. You may want to try it yourselves :)

 

 

and super comfy headband

Next will be further tuning of bass and extending the treble a bit more.

Those pads look intriguing, do you have a tutorial?

It's just another pair of synthetic leather pads ( since I have no access to a pair of decent leather pads yet). Double tape it with the stock pads.

keanex,

 

I wanted to thank you for this great review.  I joined back in January and just purchased my Fostex T50RP last week.  These phones are incredible.
